Wow - I saw it in flight and thought it was lame.

What I find really ironic is that you are probably being voted down by some ignorant with extreme political views who has *heard* something about the movie being left wing and thinks it's all yet another seditious plot of some kind, when in fact we're talking about an anti fascism movie if we were to give it any kind of political slant. Or maybe they are just objecting to children watching what can be a pretty intense movie at times and we all know we must protect our children at all costs from anything that could provoke them to think under any circumstances about anything more important that what they are going to wear to school this year. ;)

What an awesome movie! I wonder why it was so quietly promoted, it's right up there with some of the best movies I've ever seen. Out on Video now, I strongly recommend it, it's a good story, well acted and nothing like I imagined it would be before I saw it.

I agree. I liked it. I watched this movie in flight from Seattle to Seol.

Group of us planned to go watch the movie on one of those gigantic screens. Eventually only 2 of us turned up. This is the mail i sent out to the rest :laugh: To those who missed the Movie-- OMG!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???????????????? What an awesomely cool movie to watch,in IMAX, at a low price of 100/ticket this was a steal!!!! You'll simply have to watch this fan-fxXXX-tastic movie!!!!! it blew me away!!! Directed by the Wachowski bros(of Matrix fame) and Joel Silver, Hugo Weaving aka V (Agent Smith of Matrix) will dazzle you!! The movie is brilliant/captivating/gripping from start to finish--the script perfect--dialoge delivery impeccable--cinematograpy flawless this movie is going into my all-time fav list and will rank highly up there!! 2Thumbs UP!!! ***** !!!!! 10/10 !!!!!! Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I actually expected this from you. Did the script have too many big words for your taste?

Right, damn "hollywood" the bastards for making us think I mean..what were they thinking? Citizen Kane should never have been made, or Casablanca or Schindlers List etc etc.

What does thought provoking and political agenda have in common? My comment was on the political agenda the hollywood types have.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

It's one of those cool sleeper hits like Pitch Black or Dark City.

If there is any political genesis for this movie I suspect it was the Thatcher era in the UK judging by the age of the original illustrated novel but it's really more about the characters and the story and it's very well made, all the qualifications for a very good movie. It's not a vehicle to promote a political agenda.
I reckon I'll go rent it then. Thanks for the info and replies everyone.
